Superman\Batman: Public Enemies Page #3

---

- We lost Power Girl.

- She's dead?

- We're not sure. She-

- Captain Atom...

...I have three words for you:

Finish your job.

Superheroes.

It's not gonna be any easier

without Power Girl.

We should have killed them.

We do not kill people. Understand?

Is that right?

- You all right?

- Uh-huh.

- What made you do that?

- Warn you?

It just sort of came out.

- You don't think I killed Metallo, do you?

- Don't know. Luthor says you did.

Tell me something, Power Girl.

Now that you've been up close

and personal with Luthor...

- ... how do you feel about him?

- He's the president.

But how do you feel

when you're around him?

He-

He makes my skin crawl.

Sometimes you have

to trust your instincts.

But how do you know when?

Now.

- See? She's a traitor.

- Is that true?

- It's complicated.

- No, it isn't.

- Tell me something.

- What do you want, dirtbag?

Did Metallo say anything

before he died?

Was he surprised to see you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What did Luthor promise you?

- Money?

What do I need with money?

I'm living energy.

You're not going to tell me you killed him

for your country, are you?

Some of us still believe

in putting our country first.

Sorry, but I don't see any patriotism here.

All I see is a psycho who's latched

onto an excuse to kill people...

...and who's so stupid he doesn't realize

he's being used by Luthor.

Power Girl, don't!

Do you know what you've done?

Can either of you contain that radiation?

- I might be able to put up a force field.

- Go.

- He's not gonna be able to keep that up.

I can absorb it.

- Captain, I can't let you-

- I was watching. And listening.

This is the least I can do.

Let's do this.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Liftoff.

And they're on their way.

Wormhole generator engaged.

Closing on target.

Don't worry.

I'm not going to say "I told you so. "

Good thing.

General, what the hell happened?

You-

We didn't take into account

all that radiation.

It detonated the warheads

before they hit.

So the meteor is-

Still on course.

Well, this is it.

Luthor's got his own office in there.

This has to be where he's keeping

the information.

And by now,

they must have the numbers we need...

...on the meteor's radiation level.

- So how do we get in?

- Don't worry.

We've got it worked out.

But you need to be somewhere else

right now.

- Yeah, but-

- Go.

They're bound to have all kinds of radar.

We should go the rest of the way on foot.

We do have something worked out,

don't we?

No. But I'm sure it'll come to me.

It doesn't take the wisdom of Solomon

to know you should stay down.

Tell me something, Captain Marvel.

Would Solomon have gone to work

for Lex Luthor?

Batman, don't make this any more difficult

than it has to be.

You wanna play it that way? Fine.

You know,

you've never been any good against magic.

And magic's what I'm all about.

- Superman. Castling.

- Good call.

Captain Marvel?

Hawkman, before you black out...

...I want you to know

I wish it didn't have to be like this.

Before I black out?

Are you all right?

Say something.

Shizam.

This initial attempt was planned

from the start only as a research mission.

Now that I have the data I need

about the meteor...

...I'll be able to put the second phase

of my plan into operation.

I want to assure you that I will deal

with this promptly and effectively.

You have nothing to fear,

so, please, continue your work...

...your play, your travel, your shopping...

...and everything else you normally do.

Thank you, and may God-

I'm sorry, no one's allowed-

Mr. President,

the whole country's in a state of panic...

...and they're ready to take you out

behind a barn and-

What are you-?

Just taking my supplements, that's all.

Supplements?

A little steroidal cocktail for strength,

and some liquid kryptonite for-

Well, just in case.

How long-?

Since the last week of the campaign.

It's given me boundless energy

and a clarity I never had before.

- What about the meteor?

- The meteor's going to hit.

It doesn't have to. There are other ways.

- That boy in Japan.

- I know all about him.

- I won't be needing him.

- But-

Don't worry, Amanda,

everything's going to be fine.

- "Fine"?

- I've come to realize that this meteor...

...is a gift from the heavens.

It's going to scourge the earth of millions,

maybe billions of people...

...the planet couldn't sustain anyway.

The world that will spring

from the ashes will be a better one.

Rational, orderly.

And you know how I know that?

Because I'm going to build that world.

And, of course,

I intend for you to play a role in all this.

A very important role.

Mr. President,

Hawkman and Captain Marvel are here.

We'll talk more later.

Captain Marvel. Hawkman.

This is a surprise.

You wouldn't know

what happened to those fugitives...

...you were supposed to bring in?

They're right in front of you.

- How-?

- We had some help.

Give us all the data

you've got on the meteor.

- Hurry.

- Of course, of course.

What's wrong?

Feeling a little green at the gills?

Well, well,

a bat by any other name...

He said hurry, Luthor.

All right, all right. I'll tell you where it is.

- Computer.

Yes, Mr. President?

Delete all files immediately.

Deleting. Deleting. Deleting.

- No!

All files deleted.

Aw. You two aren't going to be able

to save the world now.

Well, I'll tell you something.

Everyone who lives see the new world...

...will have learned

never to trust your kind again.

Shut up.

Here. It's got all the information

you need on it.

Now go save us.

B*tch.

General, arrest him.

It's like the old saying.

If you want someone killed right,

you have to kill them yourself.

Mr. President, are you all right?

Mr. President.

I'm perfectly fine, as anyone can see.

- Where does a kid get this kind of money?

I had this kind of money.

Wasn't interested in toys, though.

Hey, guys. How did it go?

Got everything we needed.

Thanks again for your help

with Hawkman and Captain Marvel.

Wait a minute.

Why aren't you with the boy?

I'm close enough right here.

And he's not really that much of a boy,

you know?

He's 13.

He's down that way.

I'll just stay back here.

Supes, Bats. Que pasta?

- Is it ready, Hiro?

- Toyman to you.

I got a copyright to protect.

And, yeah, it's ready.

- All I need is some numerals.

- Everything you need is in here.

Excellent.

I'll input them,

and then it's blastoff time.

Hey, did you guys see Power Girl

when you came in?

If you see her again,

tell her I'm sorry about the X-ray goggles.

I was just testing them, that's all.

Now I gotta rebuild them from scratch.

Hiro- Uh, Toyman,

can we please see the rocket now?

Sure, sure.

I didn't have a lot of time...

...so I based it on a design

I whipped up when I was 7.

That's why it has manual controls

even though it's not going to need a pilot.

Oh, one other thing.

Back when I designed it,

I was way into hero worship.
